The University Libraries Liaison program was created to encourage communication between the Libraries and academic departments. Library liaisons are available to provide subject or assignment-specific research instruction to classes in person or online. The liaison is also available to attend departmental meetings or meet individually with faculty to share information about relevant library services, and resources, and new databases related to their fields, and talk with library representatives about student and faculty research needs.
